"The web app has a real-time support chat window in which a support engineer is chatting with you within a minute."
"It has provided visibility with ease of implementation and allowed multiple teams to quickly onboard it."
"We like the distributed tracing and flame graphs for debugging. This has been invaluable for us during periods of high traffic or red alert conditions."
"Integrating Datadog with other platforms has made our monitoring processes a bit easier. It's not super simple, but it's manageable."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"The integration point."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If there were a more cost-effective manner of deploying the tool, we'd be more likely to adopt it more widely."
"We have asked technical support questions, and sometimes they don't get back to us right away. Or when they do, it is not the right answer."
"The sheer amount of products that are included can be overwhelming."
"ECS could be improved by including more tutorials for beginners to reduce the barriers to entry."
"The product is quite complex, and there are so many features that I either didn't know about or wasn't sure how to use."
"The correlation between the logs and the metrics needs improvement as most cases, we might use another logging tool (that is cheaper in cost) which we then have to link together."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"Once agents are connected to the Datadog portal, we should be able to upgrade them quickly."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
